New American Bible (Revised Edition)
32 Thus says the Lord God:(A)
The cup of your sister you shall drink,
deep and wide;
It brings ridicule and mockery,
it holds so much;
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief—
A cup of horror and devastation,
the cup of your sister Samaria;
34 You shall drink it dry,
its very sherds you will gnaw;
And you shall tear out your breasts;
for I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God.

for it holds so much.(B)
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
the cup of ruin and desolation,
the cup of your sister Samaria.(C)
34 You will drink it(D) and drain it dry
and chew on its pieces—
and you will tear your breasts.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(E)
